Students join NOAA staff to mark Earth Day 2016

Members of Pacific Region Outreach Group (PROG), comprised of representatives from each NOAA Pacific Islands office, traveled to Moloka’i for Earth Day celebrations. Staff conducted a beach clean up with 15 high school and 7 middle school students, and gave short talks on the impacts of marine debris in the islands. In the evening, PROG members staffed 5 booths and spoke with many of the approximately 1,000 community members who attended the event.
